But one fan theory proposes that Amanda Waller, the Suicide Squad mastermind portrayed by Viola Davis in the film, has Aquaman’s trident in her trophy case.

According to a rumor, Aquaman’s role in Batman v Superman might further confirm that Waller has Aquaman imprisoned. According to CinemaBlend, Batman will see the hero “held prisoner in a containment chamber, where we see his hand slap against the glass.”

Rumors or not, multiple sources seem to agree that there’s a link between Aquaman and Amanda Waller, and it’s a nefarious one. This shows two important things. Firstly, forget the Joker being the biggest wildcard in Suicide Squad; Waller has some serious balls to try to imprison this guy. We are rational people who realize Khal Drogo was just one character and Jason Momoa isn’t Drogo forever, but let’s be real, yes he is.

But also, it shows that Suicide Squad’s biggest curveball isn’t Batman or even the Enchantress — it’s the guys swimming around the lower levels of the prison while everyone’s attention is elsewhere. Aquaman will be the missing link that connects these two movies long before he gets his own starring role in 2018.
